He was forcibly removed from his head coaching position and re-assigned. If you want to call that a firing, then go ahead.How many beat reporters that cover the team have to tell you he was fired before you believe it?
Is the better question.
Yep, it's called "Lip Service" to the tens of thousands of Pete Carroll Fans.I believe the advisor role was more of a PR move I am not expecting PC to be doing “advising”
It doesn't hurt to get that third opinion.He was forcibly removed from his head coaching position and re-assigned. If you want to call that a firing, then go ahead.
And speaking of questions, you never answered mine. If you're Macdonald or JS, why wouldn't you want to ask Pete for his opinion?
There are divorces where the parties are resentful. And there are divorces where they are amicable and friends. Nothing I saw from any of the press conferences indicate to me an ounce of ill will.My belief, without a shred of evidence at all, is that Schneider wants nothing to do with Pete Carroll in a business capacity moving forward. He's literally giddy now, you can tell, when he's in the spotlight. I think the chains have been removed and he's loving his freedom. Again, this is my take. I'd be floored if Carroll is anywhere near the team this coming year. Seeing your ex at a party when you're with your new date is always just awkward.
Wait, someone thought the advisor role was real? Hard to imagine.I said this after the fact and got told I was crazy. They did it out of respect, there is zero chance he’s a part of the plan moving forward. John was beaming today and excited.
I never said that they "need" Pete's opinion.Negative. If John and Mike need Pete's input on this, the Seahawks are in serious trouble.
Once again, I never said that Pete wasn't stripped of his duties or that they didn't "take the keys away". I've been an advocate of removing him for some time. But I don't possess the same degree of hate and disrespect for him as you apparently do.Pete was stripped of his personnel powers for a reason, and gutted his staff for a reason.
Let's say you have an all time chef, but he's gotten old. He keeps burning the food. He used to be one of the best, but can't do it no more.
The new hire from one of the best culinary schools takes over. Is he honestly going to ask the guy who keeps burning the food for advice?
They took the keys from grandpa. It's over.
Exactly.I said this after the fact and got told I was crazy. They did it out of respect, there is zero chance he’s a part of the plan moving forward. John was beaming today and excited.
I agree but there are some that would probably do this...for all the wrong doings Pete did to the fans....We need a statue and a road named "Pete Carroll Way" near the stadium, for sure.
I think that's fair. Macdonald strikes me as somebody who is extremely thorough so he may very well canvas Carroll for thoughts about players. However, it'd be a pretty minor piece of the equation here. Schneider knows this roster inside and out from a player evaluation POV, and Macdonald is going to be doing his own comprehensive evaluation. I bet 2024 will have the flavor of 2010 when Schneider/Carroll had hundreds of transactions turning over this roster.Pete will have zero involvement imo. I do think Macdonald might have a convo behind closed doors about the roster etc. Pete is still a paid employee. Of course this convo will never be made public as certain people would create some spin that Pete is Macdonald's puppetmaster....
You're demanding praise on an internet forum after alienating the vast majority of the forum with your own conduct.Lighten up. I'm not calling him anything derogatory.
And it's no where near the hate and disrespect I received over the years for merely pointing out the obvious that he was the problem in threads with great detail, football reasons, not personal.
Until I receive my flowers the jokes will continue.
Agreed. This is his team and it's gonna look the way he wants it.I think that's fair. Macdonald strikes me as somebody who is extremely thorough so he may very well canvas Carroll for thoughts about players. However, it'd be a pretty minor piece of the equation here. Schneider knows this roster inside and out from a player evaluation POV, and Macdonald is going to be doing his own comprehensive evaluation. I bet 2024 will have the flavor of 2010 when Schneider/Carroll had hundreds of transactions turning over this roster.
Pete was fired. “Advisor” is just a nice way of putting.With his new “advisor” role, I didn’t see him lurking around the press conference. What could Management have him doing today?
If flowers is what you're after, you're going about it the wrong way.Until I receive my flowers the jokes will continue.
100% and I think KJ is correct when he also stated it on his live stream after Mike was announced. He also has more connections so I’ll believe him. Also, if my employer shitcanned me and my staff then offered me a different role.. yeah no thanks lolPete was fired. “Advisor” is just a nice way of putting.
